Hi Everyone,

You may have noticed the press release about the joining of Fedora Commons and the DSpace Foundation as the DuraSpace organization. Just wanted to let you know that we will highlight this news in a Webinar tomorrow.

The Webinar will provide highlights of the Open Repositories (OR09) conference - with review of program highlights and user groups. Also, Michele Kimpton and I will also provide a brief overview of the DuraSpace organization (as a preview of our strategic plenary session at the user group meetings).

There is still time to SIGN UP for the Webinar  - it's free too!
